2017 Rolex Daytona 24 Hour: Results Inside

[Nielsen]

How does the #31 still lead the race after getting dragged around behind the walls?

I can't recall at the moment, but does the LM24, WEC etc run their cautions like this? As in, extended out so all the classes get a turn to pit? It just seems like an awfully long time under yellow.

No, then again most American tracks are smaller than ones in Europe/Asia.

It was for about 15 seconds to bump start it.

My setup for the whole night!

Dicey moment for the BMW art car and one of the GTLM Porsches.

Bragging that you have two TVs are you? I can do that too, but one of the screens will be significantly smaller

Also I may have missed this, but does IMSA sort the classes into their own laps / positions, Super GT style?

That could have ended badly.

 

[catamount39]

Want them parked but that's fair.

 

[Northstar]

Not harsh enough.

You're right, it should be a 20 hour and 12 minute penalty.

I'm salty okay? Need to harvest it so I can drive on Monday.

International Horseshoe.

 

[GTFan24]

THAT WAS CLOSE!

Sorry, I meant after a safety car.

Remember the drama at Le Mans a few years back, where GT cars would effectively gain or lose a lap depending on where the leader was when the caution came out?

As in, you could have 3 cars nose to tail, 1st place GT, Prototype leader, 2nd place GT and if a safety car came out, the 1st place GT would effectively gain a lap.

In Super GT, after a safety car, they line up all the cars in their own classes so that none of that stuff matters and everyone is back where they should be.

I only caught the end of the restart, but it looks like they had them sorted rather than mixed up?

 

[AnthonyD1993]

55 penalty for an improper wave-by.

 

[legatoblues]

Also, hows that PC car?!

Got a stop and 10 min penalty. Mentioned in above post with the tweet pic.

 

[AnthonyD1993]

1:36.793 for Eric Curran. Faster lap now than the pole lap.

Well deserved.

 

[Savolainen83]

The GTD Lambos seem to have difficulties staying on track.

 

[AnthonyD1993]

I will say that to this point race control is far better this year than it was last year. IMSA still has 20 hours that they could make bonehead decisions, but they so far seem to be hitting major violations with a big stick this year instead of playing the deer in the headlights game when it comes to rules enforcement.

They have to make up for the lack of PC's.

 

[Ameer67]

20 hours to go, folks.

 

[IforceV8]

Rast is driving his ass off in the Riley P2 and is still 2.4 sec slower than the Cadillac(s).

If it wasn't obvious before...it is now.

Edit: What the hell did I just witness?

 

[MustangManiac]

It's a good thing you guys playing the drinking game don't have to drink every time they say Jeff Gordon...none of you would make it through the race!

 

[catamount39]

That conversation between Bell and Hawksworth was priceless.
